I spent one night in the Chelsea Hotel to do some sightseeing in Dar and it was very good for that purpose. The hotel was a little bit dated, but otherwise completely up to the standards which I expect from a hotel. It's located not far from the clock tower, which to my understanding pinpoints the centerpoint of the city. The actual sights I went to see started further away, about 20 minutes by foot. The room was adequate in size and had good aircon. I had a twin room. I first tried sleeping in the bed further away from the aircon, but the air blew directly there, so I had to move to the bed right under the aircon unit. The hotel was located close to a busy road and the honking of the cars could be heard up to the sixth floor. However it wasn't bad. The breakfast was ok. It didn't have a very wide selection, but the items I tried were tasty and of good quality. Also the setting in the restaurant was pleasant. The only negative I have to say is the extraorbitant exchange rate. I had paid my room rate in advance, but I had to pay the city tax (1.50 USD) at the hotel. I asked to pay in Tsh and had to pay 7000 Tsh, equivalent to about 3$. My loss was only 1.50$, so it wasn't a big deal in my case, but the principle left a bad taste in my mouth. If the room rate would have been 1.50$ higher but the city tax 3500 Tsh, I would have left as a happy customer. The hotel offered airport transfer for 42000 Tsh. It was quite pricy. The fixed price at the official taxi stand at the airport was 30000 Tsh. On the way back to the airport I used a rideshare app to get my transfer, it cost Tsh 12000.

The Best Western CBD Hotel in Dar es Salaam is highly recommended. The staff welcomed us kindly upon check-in and were very helpful in resolving any issues that followed. Located in the city center, it is convenient for meetings and is also suitable for taking the ferry to Zanzibar. It is good value for money and the meals are also decent.

Not bad, the price is a bit too expensive, 18, it doesn't feel worth it.
But it seems that this is already the best hotel in Dashi. The experience of staying is OK. The breakfast is not bad. The service attitude is OK. The sanitary environment is relatively good. The location is OK. Close to the port.

The staff were very pleasant, helpful and always doing their best to make the guests comfortable. The rooms were very cozy and clean, with working TV, mini fridge and aircon. The toilets were very clean and sanitized and towels also smelled like they have been washed well. I liked that the hotel was in the middle of the city with close access to a variety of important places, restaurants and shopping. What i didn't like though was that there was a lot of noise around my room as cleaning staff were busy cleaning other rooms and making lots of noises and banging doors. Also i was in a non smoking room and i could smell smoke coming from other rooms. I asked for reception to change my room, which they did.

The location is good. It is a 15-minute walk from the beach. Even in the CBD, the service staff are very friendly and polite. The breakfast is very good. The 360-degree restaurant on the top floor is still a bit far from other introductions. After entering the door, I suspected that I was going wrong. The small lobby and the front desk of a service staff are not comparable to domestic holidays. There are a lot of hotels around, and I went to see others to know that they are not as good as this one (there is a five-star hotel next to it, don't compare, the price is doubled),

Due to the flight delay, it was already night when we arrived in Dar. We arrived at the hotel in a daze. It was not as luxurious as we imagined, but it was still elegant. The double bed we booked on the platform was probably full, so we arranged a double bed + a small bed room lol. Although the brothers were not unfamiliar with it, haha~
It took a little time to check in. The room was clean, and there was everything you could need for water and self-service coffee. Since the meeting lasted until the early morning, I got up after less than 3 hours of sleep. After all, the breakfast was good, which comforted my tired stomach and was also a kind of compensation.
The overall feeling was good. The price was a little high, but the accommodation experience was OK. It was very close to the port. In the morning, we caught the boat to Sang Island. The hotel was only 5 minutes away from the pier, which was quite convenient!

GGuest UserI booked this hotel due to two reasons - its a Marriot property now and the beach pier which I saw in the pics. Unfortunately the pier is closed now and there is no direct access to any beach. That was a big disappointment. The other issue was that there is no calling bell outside the room. So the staff has to knock!! If you are asleep or TV is ON, you will mostly not hear it. Bit strange despite being a marriot property.
The pros: The check in and checkout was seamless. The reception is very well managed and the people are very nice and hospitable. The breakfast buffet was good with nice vegetarian options (which I had requested and the hotel was kind enough to oblige). The deluxe room with ocean view was quite large and had a nice balcony. though not directly on the watefront, could view the ocean...it should be renamed as partial view of ocean though. The in room dining food was quite good. Also the location is in a nice part of the town.
SSurasak HompimolpornThe hotel is in the city but not very busy. Breakfast has a lot to choose from, clean rooms, rooftop restaurant tastes good. Overall, the price is reasonable.
GGuest UserArrived and told the room does not have inside toilet. That cost $10 usd extra. So I got the better room, which is a great room. Has 2 tv but none work and haven’t work in a while. There are no facilities. You are in the middle of a urban jungle.
Noise from outside water pump keeps you up all night.
Wont stay there again.
GGuest UserI just stayed at Q Bar & Guesthouse and been amazed by the loveliness of the staff. The guesthouse is comfortable, AC, spacious and lit rooms, safe, little desk area, sofa, TV. I very much appreciated the whole stay. From start they were super responsive on the booking engine. At check in Ibra showed me few rooms before choosing what i wanted, made sure i was comfy, cooked breakfast by Grace was perfect, she's lovely and so is whole staff, and Joel the manager is very nice and welcoming. The Bar is popular in the area and the location is perfect! No noise, the rooms are quiet. Definitely recommend.
GGuest UserRelatively middle-priced hotel in dar, room is large with large bed and separate toilet and shower. Staff are nice. First day of arrival the air conditioner was not working and they immediately asked someone to fix. And the restaurant was good in my expectation, it closes at 11pm and I can still order food at 1030pm. The only improvement is that the WiFi is poor, almost no connection in my room.
BBrandi from TexasThis location is for the view, location and the service, as all were great. The hotel is dated and needs maintenance, but for the price and location- it’s a deal. Nearby hotels are $100-300/night. Breakfast was just okay. The chicken burger and beef samosas were tasty from the restaurant.
AAmidhu StambuliThere should improve on their breakfast . I like tea or coffee but on the morning of 1 January the tea i was given if i am not mistaken with measurements it was 150mls in a very tiny cup.
I think there should be an upgrade on quality of breakfast which i think was down graded compared to the previous breakfast i had in August 2022.
At that time and day in August it was a buffet
NNASSER-EDDINE BEN DAOUDThe hotel's room is comfortable : there is an air conditioner that works very well. Every thing is clean especially the toilets. The bed is smooth and the T.V is interesting to watch. What I liked mostly about the hotel is their hospitality and service. A good place to stay in Dar Es Salaam. ❤❤❤
GGuest User+ close to the ferry terminal + nice view from the window + quiet area + spacious room + good breakfast + good value for money + helpful staff + hot water + good Wi-Fi - bathroom looks old and neglected - a bit old bathroom - luke warm water - shower head to replace
